What do the 'Historists" believe?

[RobbyPants]

Now you see why I jump right into insulting them. Saves a lot of time.

I think it says much that even *I* lack the patience to deal with their run-around.

Just post your little "seven stage" thing from above, and tell them that if they can't bring anything new to the table, you won't read their posts. :p

I know, I know: it won't work. They'll tell you that the last guy probably didn't explain Josephus' works properly, or something, and that you totally have to listen to his take on it.

It's like they receive special training. This is the drill every... single... time.

Could this be like the five stages of grief? Seven stages of fundy?
